"Exploring the Rich History of the Qing Dynasty in China" Step back in time to the 1860s, as we catch a glimpse of a hardworking woman from the working class in Canton. Captured by John Thomson's lens, this photograph showcases the resilience and strength of women during this era. Fast forward to 1900, when British and Japanese troops engaged Boxer forces in a fierce battle at Tianjin during the Boxer Rebellion. The image captures the intensity and chaos that unfolded during this significant event in Chinese history. In another scene from the Boxer Rebellion, we witness American soldiers from the 14th United States Infantry stationed within Beijing's Palace Grounds. This photo serves as a reminder of foreign involvement amidst political turmoil. Traveling further back in time to 1662, an engraved map by Jan Blaeu reveals Fujian province with intricate details including Taiwan (Formosa) and its surrounding strait. This historical artifact provides insights into China's geographical landscape centuries ago. Delving into daily life, an English steel engraving from 1843 depicts a Chinese merchant's home nestled on Canton's outskirts. Thomas Allom's drawing brings forth architectural beauty while shedding light on social hierarchies prevalent at that time. Religious encounters are also documented through an intriguing line engraving from 1837 featuring a missionary challenging idolatrous worship practices among Chinese locals. It reflects cultural clashes and attempts at religious conversion during this period. Tz'u Hsi, Empress Dowager of China between 1835-1908 takes center stage around c. 1903 captured through black-and-white photography. Her powerful presence symbolizes female leadership amid turbulent times for imperial China. Shanghai witnessed punishment rituals such as three women wearing wooden collars called "cangue" as public humiliation for their crimes in 1907—a stark reminder of harsh justice systems prevailing then.
